Many Persons Receive GunshOt wounds
There was terrible rioting in the Peters

ALARM AT FALL RIVER.
Fears that the Mills VIII Have to Shut
Down for Want of Coal.

Fears that the Mills VIII Have to Shut
Down for Want of Coal.
The effect of the big strike at New York is
beginning to be felt, and for the first time in
its history Fall River, accustomed to strikes
at home is in danger of suffering serious an
noyance and pecuniary loss from a strike
hundreds of miles away. Already much
inconvenience is being caused by the scarcity
of coal, and mill treasurers are anx-
ious lest they be compelled to
shut down. The mills clnnot run without
coal, and the supply on hand is small and
rapidly diminishing. A few corporations,
like the Ame ican Linen, Durfee, Border City
and Sycamore have enough coal on hand to
last for month, but these embrace few mills
and are along the water front, and have
storage room on wharve5 and buy coal by
the cargo. Most of the corporations buy coal
of local wholesale dealers under contracts for
years. The supply is delivered as wanted.
Coal is delivered at the mills every week, and
most of the mills have only few days supply
on hand at time, and some ha only about
one days supply on hand This method Of
delivery was adopted for tho convenience Of
mills and dealers alike. Corporations lay
for coal as delivered, and thus save interest
on money which would be tied up in coal, If
purchased in large quantities. Some mills
have coal dumped into fire rooms every day,
and thus save carting from bins to fire
rooms. This system is also convenient 10
dealers, who also cohtract 10 deliver cars at
a cert ain price per ton, and by this method
Of delivery are ei abled to take advantage OF
the market The strike of coal handlers,
however, has suddenly shut off the supply,
and, owing to the small stock on hand, q coal
famine is imminent.
